The hospital charges on this list are the amounts set before any discounts. Hospitals are required by the federal government to utilize uniform charges as the starting point for all bills. The prices on this list are for Hospital services only. Hospital services typically include charges for admission to or use of the facility, its infrastructure, and its equipment and the services of its personnel, such as nurses and technicians.

TYPICAL CHARGE
Hospital charges typically do not include physician services or the necessary services of other providers, such as personnel retained by the physician, or the services of outside facilities. Patients will be responsible for these other charges in addition to the hospital charges. Hospital charges are based on what type of care is actually provided and can differ from patient to patient for the same service. The differences between patients are related to complications or varying treatments needed due to the patient's health.
PATIENT’S RESPONSILITY
A patient's responsibility may vary, depending on payment plans negotiated with individual health insurers, or the terms of coverage under a governmental or other healthcare payment program. Many patients who seek hospital charge information are interested in knowing their potential out-of-pocket financial responsibility. This is an opportunity to have important conversations regarding finances. Those with health insurance can be directed to contact their health plan for specific financial obligations. Those without health insurance will be provided information related to the hospital's financial assistance policy, and any prompt pay or other discounts that could be applied.

COVID-19 TESTING
Tampa General Hospital is committed to provide needed treatment for all patients regardless of ability to pay. Most payers have communicated they will cover 100% of the testing cost however patients should contact their insurance company for the most up-to-date information. If you do not currently have insurance coverage or your insurance is non-participating with TGH, we have established a standard COVID-19 test cash price of $100. Note that this pricing is for the COVID-19 testing only and does not cover additional services or treatment for the disease. You must have a valid physicians order to receive a COVID-19 test.
PRICE TRANSPARENCY
Federal regulations require all hospitals to post detailed information about the charges for various services and supplies that could be billed to a patient’s account along with the payer specific negotiated rates for these items/services. These payer-negotiated rates do not take into account specific elements of your plan and personal health care consumption – you will likely pay only a portion of these rates via deductibles, co-payments, or co-insurance. Patients without insurance are often eligible for charity care, payment plans, or cash discounts and adjusted for household income and family size.These documents are not a guarantee of what you will be charged. Your actual charges may differ from the estimated charges for many reasons, including the seriousness of your medical condition, actual time the procedure takes place, as well as the services and supplies that you receive.

OTHER RESOURCES
Government agencies have other tools for exploring the quality and costs for health care facilities in Florida. Please note that while these tools are pulled from valid data sources, the complexity of health care and negotiated payer rates (insurance coverage) means that the information in these tools may not necessarily reflect the actual cost for an individual patient as it does not consider deductibles, co-pays or insurance coverage. As such, be sure to visit our Price Estimator Tool or call 813-844-8084 to obtain a personalized estimate of Tampa General Hospital services tailored to your specific situation. The Florida Agency for Health Care Administration maintains two websites with information: Florida Health Finder website and the Florida Health Price Finder website.
